A recent innovation in artificial intelligence research has been the integration of multiple artificial intelligence techniques into hybrid intelligent systems. Hybrid artificial intelligent systems seek to overcome the deficiencies of traditional artificial techniques by combining techniques with complementary capabilities. Using these hybrid systems, researchers have been able to solve a vari...

Computational intelligence paradigm covers several approaches for technical problems solving in an intelligence manner, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic systems, evolutionary computation, etc. Each approach provides engineers and researchers with the smart and powerful tools to handle various real-life concerns. Even more powerful tools were designed at the joint of different com...

The research introduces an adaptive food searching and recommending engine by taste and user preference using fuzzy logic. In contrast with existing system where food is searched by predefined keywords, this system searches food by its taste and users’ preference which allows the system to provide better results. As food taste cannot be measured and user’s preference is relative to each user, t...

BACKGROUND Studies suggest that ambient sunlight plays an important role in the pathogenesis of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). However, there is ongoing controversy regarding the relevance of occupational exposure to natural and artificial ultraviolet radiation (UV) radiation. OBJECTIVES We investigated potential associations between natural and artificial UV radiation exposure at work wit...

introduction according to the shortage of water resources in the world, it seems necessary the use of refined water, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas such as iran. the correct treatment, management and the control of refining process needs to investigate effective parameters in this process precisely. therefore, because of the uncertainty and complexity in refining qualitative parameter...

Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the most important factors in the development of skin cancer in human, solar erythema and skin aging. Nevertheless, numerous studies have shown the benefits of UV solar radiation in moderate doses, such as the reduction of blood pressure and mental health, treatment of various diseases, and the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin. This paper analyses da...

The harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation on aquatic animals, due to ozone layer reduction, have been long studied in recent years. Exposure of Rainbow Trout larvae (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) at different doses (68.75 µw/cm2 and 94.83 µw/cm2 as the minimum and maximum dose of UV-B in natural environment respectively) for 15 minutes once a day in dark condition in...

OBJECTIVE Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is widely recognised as a leading cause of skin cancer, with outdoor workers being particularly at risk. Little is known on a national level about how many workers are exposed to solar radiation, the circumstances in which they are exposed, or their use of protective measures. METHODS The Australian Work Exposures Study (AWES) was a cross-s...
